(Chips Moman and Dan Penn)

At the dark end of the street

That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong

You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me


I know that time is gonna take its toll
We're gonna pay for the love that we stole
Ah it's a sin and we know that it's wrong

Ah but our love keeps coming on strong
You and me, at the dark end of the street
Just you and me


They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us

They're gonna find us someday
We'll steal away to the dark end of the street
Just you and me


If you take a walk downtown
And you find some time to look around

If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh darling please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet

At the dark end of the street
Just you and me
Oh you and me

Oh darling, you and me
